7 Months, holy moly. Deia is a real thinking, feeling, copy-cat-ing, manipulating, funny little person! She now shakes her head "no" and is practicing her wave. She tends to practice it a lot in bed in her mirror, and other times she sort of waves at herself. Those little hands and fingers are so busy! Deia sleeps from about 7pm-5/6/7 am, with a few off nights here and there of course. But it's a whole new world for us! No teeth yet, but a tad more drooling and she is easily calmed by chewing her transparent teethers or her rubber claw. And she caresses my skin when she drinks her bottle, it's the sweetest thing ever. Deia still enjoys her exersaucer, but we are due to get a bouncer/walker soon. She crawls out of her bumbo and bassinet and I guess that means we are running out of places to put her down when we need to go to the bathroom, shower and get ready. She will crawl backwards, but not forwards. And she will scoot, roll and downward dog it to get to wherever she needs to go! She loves the swing at the park and loves laying on her tapestry in the fresh air. She has been in the pool a lot now and she likes it, at least she doesn't not like it. She isn't quite at that stage where splashing is fun...all she wants to do is check out the waterfall from the hot tub and chew on her rubber duckie! She LOVES looking at herself in the mirror and thinks it's really funny to look at our reflection and then turn around to see us behind her. She is just not a good napper. She'll nap in the stroller or car or on a person, but "putting her down" during the day is a rare occurrence. She just doens't do it. Aaaand she's never been "put down" awake, that's a hurdle we'll deal with later. BUT, she is sleeping from about 7pm-6am (yay adult time) and wakes up and plays with her toys (two teethers, her piggy, her mirror, her ladybug bath toy) and practices her waving and talking for about 20-30 minutes before fussing. Speaking of fussing, she screams bloody murder when you put her on her changing table, then she gets louder as you change her diaper and even louder when you attempt to change her clothes. That has transfered to doing any of the above anywhere at all. It's a phase...one we hope she grows out of quickly! Her bangs are growing in and her hair, overall, is fluffly and soft and strawberry blonde-ish. The bald spot is filling in, slowly. She has cried for Corey in the morning as he left and slaps her hands down in excitement when he comes home. She is the proud new owner of her own Elmo tv remote and we are awaiting fisher price toy keys and toy camera. We need to find a toy cell phone and computer and she'll be set with all her own items to bang and hang up on! She skypes with her family - the campodonicos, laura, those in chile and even with Corey during the day. ....of course she is more interested in hitting the keyboard and eating the screen. She still does not really play with her toys, she just figures out how to get them in her mouth and then chews forever. We remain obsessed with her smells, tastes, sounds and body parts and cannot get enough of her smile. We'll do anything! I truly could not imagine life without her...I cannot believe there was ever a time when Deia wasn't everything in our lives!!!!!!
7 Months!
